Is it possible ?

It is scarcely an accident that those who sit in high places in the hospital world decline altogether to discuss the pay and prospects of the nurse, or else, in so doing, sedulously avoid definiteness or detail. The probable reason for this attitude is that it is the only one they can afford. A man does not regale his family with guidebooks to the Riviera if he knows that a week-end at Margate is his ne plu* ultra. Every nurse may not have


Workflow
Until now, the camcorder has often been the main obstacle to achieving a smoother, more streamlined production workflow. Getting footage into a file format that your editing system could understand was a time consuming and laborious process. With Native File Recording, your footage is ready to edit the moment it's shot.

Rotary Optical Image Stabiliser
With the increased resolution of HD pictures, even a small amount of camera shake becomes noticeable to the viewer. The newly developed Rotary Optical Image Stabiliser (ROIS) corrects for camera shake with no loss of image resolution or quality.

1080p Dynamic Digital Signal Processor (DDSP)
JVC's new Dynamic Digital Signal Processor is the engine that drives the GY-HM100E. This highly efficient MPEG2 encoder processes video signals at up to 35 Mbps for full progressive or interlace 1920 x 1080 HD video.

10x Fujinon HD Lens
The GY-HM100E is equipped with a high definition 10x zoom lens by Fujinon, a world leader in HD lens technology. In keeping with the overall design philosophy of the camcorder, the lens is designed to maximise optical performance while minimising size and weight.

Three 1/4-inch Progressive CCD Design with Diagonal Offset
High definition is all about image quality. The combination of newly designed 1/4" progressive CCDs and JVC's Diagonal Offset technology delivers pristine HD pictures with rich, lifelike colour.

Focus Assist
When shooting to HD, accurate focusing is critical. JVC developed Focus Assist to make accurate HD focusing quick and easy. When Focus Assist is switched on, the image in the viewfinder or LCD monitor becomes monochrome and all objects that are in focus appear with coloured edges.

Twin SDHC Card Slots
The GY-HM100E gives users the flexibility of twin SDHC memory card slots. When the card in the first slot is full, the camcorder switches automatically to the second with no drop out. Memory cards are hot swappable, so cards can be removed for editing without interrupting the shoot.

2.8-inch LCD Monitor
The 2.8-inch 16:9 aspect ratio LCD monitor provides not only an alternative to the viewfinder when shooting, but also displays a wide array of monitoring and setup indications.

Twin SDHC Card Slots with Continuous Recording
With the advent of high capacity, affordable memory cards, extended shooting times have become a reality. The GY-HM100E goes a step further with twin SDHC card slots and the ability to shoot continuously from the first card to the second. No breaks in the recording, no momentary dropout-just one seamless take as the camcorder automatically switches to the second card when the first one is full. Further benefits of having two card slots include being able to make effective use of lower capacity cards, being able to hot-swap out the first card for editing while still shooting to the second, and the flexibility of scene-by-scene card selection. At the heart of the GY-HM100E is a new Dynamic Digital Signal Processor. Processing is performed on the full progressive 1920 x 1080 signal, regardless of the camcorder's settings, ensuring the highest picture quality in any shooting mode. All major HD resolutions are supported, including 1920 x 1080, 1440 x 1080 and 1280 x 720.

Mbps MPEG2 Encoding
The highly efficient MPEG2 codec compresses video signals at up to 35 Mbps-high enough to support full 1920 x 1080 resolution-for simply stunning image quality. The MPEG2 long GOP (Group of Pictures) codec is a widely used, broadcast-standard compression system and is supported by all popular editing systems and broadcast servers.

Uncompressed Audio Recording with Manual Controls
The GY-HM100E captures audio with the same uncompromising quality as video. Two-channel 16-bit/48 kHz uncompressed linear PCM can be recorded via the built-in stereo ambient microphone and the detachable shotgun microphone, or via a pair of balanced XLR connectors. Versatile input switching and independent channel assignment allow both mic and line-level sources (such as wireless receivers) to be connected, and phantom power is available on each XLR connector independently. Audio recording levels can be controlled automatically or manually, and there's an audio level meter in the viewfinder and LCD monitor for easy monitoring.

Three 1/4-inch Progressive CCD Design with Diagonal Offset
The three progressive CCD design provides rich, accurate colours, while JVC's Diagonal Offset technology increases sampled luminance information in both horizontal and vertical directions by shifting the red and blue pixels relative to the green. The result is a sharper picture without any corresponding loss in sensitivity.

10x Fujinon HD Lens
The JVC GY-HM100E is equipped with a high definition 10x zoom lens by Fujinon, a world leader in HD lens technology. The design minimises the weight and size of the lens, while still providing exceptional HD optical performance, with low distortion. To reduce lens flare and ghosting, the lens surface has a new Electronic Beam Coating (EBC) that greatly reduces the amount of light reflecting off the lens surface, and increases light transmission.
The focal length of the lens ranges from 3.7-37 mm (39-390 mm at 35 mm film equivalents), offering a good balance of wide angle and zoom. For wider angle shooting, the built-in lens hood can be removed and an optional GL-V0746U wide-angle converter fitted. The zoom range can also be extended with the optional GL-V1846U telephoto converter.

Rotary Optical Image Stabiliser
With the increased resolution and sharpness of HD pictures, even a small amount of camera shake becomes noticeable to the viewer. JVC's newly developed Rotary Optical Image Stabiliser (ROIS) corrects for lateral and vertical movement of the camera without the degradation of image quality associated with digital image stabilisation systems. The result is pristine HD images that remain sharp and stable.

Advanced MPEG2 High Bit Rate Encoding Still Picture Capture
The GY-HM100E doubles as a very capable 2-Megapixel stillpicture camera. You can capture pictures live or from video that is already recorded, and store them to either of the on-board memory card. What's more, because the CCDs are progressive, every frame is sharp and clear, even when there is movement in the scene.

Shooter-Friendly Controls and Layout
Ergonomics has played a major role in the design of the GY-HM100E. The camera's handgrip makes the camera very comfortable to hold for any operator, even on long shoots. And despite its extremely compact dimensions, all the camcorder's main functions are accessible directly from controls and switches on the camera body, right where you would expect them to be.

2.8-inch LCD Monitor
The 2.8-inch 16:9 aspect ratio LCD monitor provides not only an alternative to the viewfinder when shooting, it also displays a wide array of monitoring and setup indications. To the left of the screen is a mini joystick and push button for navigating menus and selecting options, as well as a zoom control and a recording start/stop button.

Comprehensive Auto Functions
In most ordinary shooting situations the automatic functions of the GY-HM100E take care of the technicalities, letting you focus on the action in the frame and getting the shot the way you want it.

Wireless Remote Control
The GY-HM100E comes with an infrared remote control for operating the camcorder remotely-great for static point-of-view shots when an operator is unavailable or unnecessary.

Out-of-focus image In-focus image
The edge of the in-focus subject is shown in colour, telling the operator that the subject is in-focus. A major benefit of this system is that it operates in real time.

Versatile Manual Functions
For greater creativity and control, many of the camcorder's functions can be controlled manually, from shutter speed and exposure to horizontal and vertical image detail, gamma adjustment and brightness gain. Manual control can open the door to some great special effects, as well as enabling better footage to be shot in challenging shooting environments.

Focus Assist
With the increased resolution of HD, accurate focusing is critical-focusing errors that may pass unnoticed in SD video are far more obvious when watching in HD. JVC developed Focus Assist to make accurate HD focusing quick and easy. When Focus Assist is switched on, the image in the viewfinder or LCD monitor becomes monochrome and all objects that are in focus appear with coloured edges. Keeping the important elements in the picture in focus while shooting is greatly simplified.

Recording start/stop button

2.8-inch GUI
The new GUI, visible in both the LCD monitor and as an overlay in the viewfinder, features several improvements that make the GY-HM100E a pleasure to use. The high-resolution picture thumbnail display makes it a simple task to select clips visually for review, and more detailed file and shooting information for each clip is now available, including the file format, frame rate and resolution.

Data Battery
The supplied JVC Data Battery provides over two hours of recording time. Using a JVC Data Battery not only guarantees excellent battery performance, it also enables you to monitor the remaining power and recording time, all at the touch of a button. Continuous recording time by the provided BN-VF823U battery is approximately 120 minutes with viewfinder and LCD monitor on at 25˚C.

Video Output
For external monitoring or capture, the GY-HM100E is equipped with a variety of video output options, including HDMI™ and component output for HD or downconverted SD video, and composite output for SD video only. HDMI™ output is via a standard HDMI™ connector and can output full HD video as well as uncompressed audio.

JVC ProHD Clip Manager
The ProHD Clip Manager, for both Mac and Windows, makes it easy to manage MP4 clips on the GY-HM100E's memory cards from your PC. With a few clicks of the mouse you can copy, move or delete clips, preview clip content, as well as view and edit clip metadata. You can also manage folders to keep things organised, check the remaining space left on a card, and set the index frame of a clip to use as its thumbnail.

ProHD Log and Transfer Plug-in
The ProHD Log and Transfer Plug-in is a software for Apple's Final Cut Pro ™ that lets you drop MP4 files recorded on the GY-HM100E into the clip bin of Final Cut Pro ™ . With the plug-in installed, you can view thumbnails of the MP4 files on a memory card from the Log and Transfer screen of Final Cut Pro ™ .
